"For all the cynical romantics out there."

A girl who likes to make snowglobes. A guy who likes to write notes. What could possibly keep them apart?

Remember that time you looked someone in the eye and knew that the only thing that needed to be said I was " I love you"? This is a play about that moment.

Acclaimed theatre company my accomplice bring you a hilarious and honest show about the wonderful, terrible, joyous, fearful, explosive, destructive feeling that is love. They made it just for you. You will love it - but will you be in love with it?

"my accomplice stands out from the pack of young Wellington theatre companies. I look forward to their next show with excitement." - David O'Donnell

Starring Hannah Banks, Kate Clarkin, Uther Dean, William O'Neil and Chapman Tripp award winner Paul Waggott.]]> http://bats.co.nz/shows/a-play-about-love/feed/ 0 http://bats.co.nz/shows/divas-and-the-beast/ http://bats.co.nz/shows/divas-and-the-beast/#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 03:24:06 +0000 BATS FEED http://bats.co.nz/?guid=a9c793fe887dd36a72ec4cc6817bf512

NZ’s only all-female improv team take on the audience’s everyday problems – your ‘beasts’ – in this quirky take on TV’s Beauty and the Beast meets Desperate Housewives. No problem is too big or too small as you the audience provide inspiration.

Brad and Nancy are a real couple.
Brad’s a Kiwi.
Nancy’s a Brit.
They cannot agree where to live.

You’ll see their story; they’ll brutally, comically, cheekily fight their corner and then you must vote. England or NZ – you decide.]]> http://bats.co.nz/shows/should-we-stay-or-should-we-go/feed/ 0 http://bats.co.nz/shows/the-37th-situation/ http://bats.co.nz/shows/the-37th-situation/#comments Fri, 17 Feb 2012 01:33:33 +0000 BATS FEED http://bats.co.nz/?guid=5718a9b701eeda7c5ea06c4a8bc97392 By Lori Leigh and Company

Tolstoy said there are only two stories: a stranger comes to town and a man leaves town on a journey. George Polti, a French author, managed to buffer it out to 36. In the history of dramatic storytelling, could there really be so few?

The Situationalistis, in an attempt to exhaust themselves theatrically, have decided to stage the entire 36 in one hour-long production. And search for a 37th...

Encapsulating the spirit of the Fringe, and to truly test the players, the order of the 36 will be chosen by the audience.]]> http://bats.co.nz/shows/the-37th-situation/feed/ 0 http://bats.co.nz/shows/yes-no-maybe/ http://bats.co.nz/shows/yes-no-maybe/#comments Wed, 15 Feb 2012 03:19:07 +0000 BATS FEED http://bats.co.nz/?guid=4875df31a82ccfcbc4e68691dae784af Presented by the Wellington Freelance Dancers

A one-man band has never sounded so good. Adelaide multi-instrumentalist Adam Page makes spontaneous symphonies on stage, feeding all his instruments and vocals through loop pedals to build lush, layered soundscapes.

A hit at many international festivals, Adam incorporates everything from jazz to punjabi and tango to afrobeat in his wacky, improvised performance.]]> http://bats.co.nz/shows/chairman-of-the-beard/feed/ 0 http://bats.co.nz/shows/moving-stationery/ http://bats.co.nz/shows/moving-stationery/#comments Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:44:12 +0000 BATS FEED http://bats.co.nz/?guid=68e13b0ce49733804bb91af4b3595dfc Presented by the Kallo Collective

Meet Sigmund, the recipient of a new job who is besieged by his unfamiliar office. The lift, his lunch, and the stationery are set to destroy him.

Rock Opera vs Silent Movie: 1920's classic cult horror film Nosferatu is resurrected by prog-pop-rock-goth-indie-glam-rock band Transit of Venus. The music gifts new emotion and narrative to the film, beautiful progressive soundscapes are dotted with starry eyed songs about love and death.]]> http://bats.co.nz/shows/transit-of-venus-vs-nosferatu/feed/ 0
